Core Technology: Kawasaki Shock Absorption Pad

Function: Meets varying shock absorption needs during different sports activities, adapting to athletes’ footwork changes, steps, and smashes, providing tailored shock absorption to effectively dissipate foot vibrations, protecting knees, and ensuring maximum safety.
Composition: dclan Material (New Smart Cushioning Material), based on the core principle of “Liquid Body Armor,” can withstand up to 90% of impact force. dclan is a non-Newtonian fluid that remains relaxed and soft under normal conditions but instantly locks molecules upon impact, hardening to absorb and dissipate external forces, forming a protective layer. Upon impact cessation, it returns to its original soft and flexible state.

Craftsmanship Techniques (Space Silver Collector’s Edition)

High-End Handcrafted Distressed Finish: The collector’s edition undergoes a meticulous process of wiping, sanding, and polishing to achieve a natural, interstellar gradient effect.
Double Lasting Process: Uses a standard last, undergoes initial shaping, then undergoes the distressed finish followed by a second shaping and curing process, resulting in a more structured and stable shoe shape for enhanced performance.

Traversing the Kuiper Belt, a realm of rubble, charged particles, and stardust, the Traverse 2.0 MID deconstructs, fuses, and rebirths, reforging interstellar power. Amidst the stars, silence, and vastness, it awakens.
